By means of a simple chemical pro.

BY means of a simple chemical pro-
cess beautiful yellow is now given
to marble without any injurious effect
upon the polish or hardness of the
stone. Neutral chloride of iron is for
this purpose dissolved in ninety per
cent. of alcohol, and after gently
heating the marble to be colored, the
solution in question is applied by
means Of brush, sprinkler, or by
pouring, the strength of the solution
being, of course proportional to the
depth of the color desired, and care
being requisite also in regard to the
degree of the temperature. On the
marble becoming completely dry it is
moistened with water or exposed to
moist air. when the decomposition of
the salt of iron takes place in the up
per strata, and the process of colora-
ton is complete, all that remains to
be done being to polish the surface, if
necessary, or it may be simply rubbed
off with wet cloth. For light tints,
very diluted solutions are applied.

A steam sheep-shearing machine is
successfully used in Melbourne, Aus
tralia. 1t consists of a cutting wheel
geared to the shaft of small turbine,
about three inches in diameter, and
which is operated by current of
steam conveyed from the boiler by an
India rubber tube. In front Of the
cutter is comb which serves as a
guard against the skin of the sheep.
The apparatus is made of brass, some.
thing in shape of trowel. 1t is used
in the same fashion as the sheers, but
cuts much more rapidly and cleaner,
without the least danger of injuring
the fleece of the sheep.-Ex.

The "Hooi and Horn," of Pres colt, says: Col. Geo. H. Tinker, the versatile editor of the Flagstaff CHAM. rroN, is in Prescott dancing attend. ance on the legislative assembly. As the Colonel never dances merely for the sake of his health, it is pretty safe to predict that before the session is over he will be rather sensational, but
 when asked whether he was in Prescott in the interest of the proposed couaty to be created from Yavapai and Apache, he preserves sphynx like si-

RAILROAD LEGISLATION.

1 The Interstate commerce bill, bet
 ter known as the Reagan railroad bill
 has passed the Senate and there is lit
 tie doubt that 1t will become law. Il is measure that directly or indirect ly affects every citizen of the United States. The bill which has passed is made up from the Reagan bill intro. duced into the house and the Cullom bill in the Senate. For the past ten years, Representative Reagan has been trying to push his measure through the house and only succeed ed last March about the same time the Senate passed similar measure intro duced by Senator Cullom. A com mittee of conference was then appoin- ted who constructed another bill which they considered embodied the best points of the two. This is the measure which has now passed the senate. The main objectiofi ithe bill is to prohibit discrimination between persons and places, also the giving of special rates and preferences, an d It provides that all railroads shall publish their rates andsmake no variation in them. The most difficult clause of the bill, to come to an agreement on, was that in reference 10 long and short hauls and the measure as passed gives the com. mission who will have charge of the matter, a certain amount of latitude, instead of making cast iron rule, so that railroad company can be re- lieved from the strict operation of the clause when they can show sufficient cause for making an exception.
 Pooling is entirely prohibited and the enactment is very stringent on this point imposing a heavy fine and mak- ing 1t seperate offence for every day of its continuance. The difference between the two bills as originally | passed by the senate ard house, was that the former appointed commis- sion to adjudge differences between shippers and railway companies and the latter gave the shipper authority to recover by ordinary process of law. The compromise bill provides com. mission and gives the shipper his choice of either remedy, but he can not appeal to the courts and the com mission in the same case at the same time.
 Senators Evarts and Brown made he strongest arguments against .the measure, claiming the only way to ensure fair treatment from railroads vas to leave them free to manage their 'wn business in the same way as o,h- 1T commercial enterprises. This po- ition is weak one. The railroads Ire in such a position that they can, md frequently do infict wrongs on he people fer. which hitherto there 'as been practically no remedy There is no desire to obstrsct the man. cement of railways. and if they are ot practicing any injustice they can. ot have any valid objection against he enactment. of law, the sole pur- ose of which is to prevent injustice eing done and to see that all parties oing business with a railroad arc eated falrly and squArely alike.
